Abstract:
Fewer than 30 % of patients with diabetes who are on insulin therapy achieve target glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) levels. Automated bolus calculators (ABCs) are now almost universally used for patients on insulin pump therapy to calculate pre-meal insulin doses. Use of ABCs in glucose monitors and smart phone applications have the potential to improve glucose control in a larger population of individuals with diabetes on insulin therapy by overcoming the fear of hypoglycaemia and assisting those with low numeracy skills.
